Let me tell you a quick story about this amazing table! It has been in my wife's family for over 50 years and has so many memories. I have to be careful not to mention my wife's age, but she used to love playing and relaxing under this table while watching TV with her parents. It actually belongs to my mother-in-law, Barbara P.
When I saw this table it was sitting on the front porch, looking really worn out from being exposed to the elements. It was clear that this table needed some love. I decided to take on the task of restoring it and preserving its history for another 50 years.
The table had these old wine bottle labels all over it, which had actually protected the wood from the sun and weather. It was quite delicate, so cleaning and sanding it took a lot of time and care. I made sure not to remove too much of its history while cleaning it up. Once it was cleaned up, I started layering it in epoxy to give it some strength and support.
Creating a mold to contain the piece and epoxy wasn't as difficult as I thought it would be. Barbara requested a beach-inspired color scheme, so I replaced the wine labels with stickers and postcards from our local beach and city's landmarks. I wanted to make her happy, so I made sure everything turned out great. As a tribute to the old table, I even added a few wine bottle corks.
In the end, I added two layers of tabletop epoxy and polished it until it had a beautiful, clear shine. It made me so happy to see the joy she expressed when I delivered it to her home. Instead of ending up in a landfill, this table was given a new lease on life and can now create new memories for generations to come. Don't let a family heirloom crumble away due to age or condition. Let me restore it and give it a refreshed look so it can be cherished and enjoyed once again.
